Overview

Comments

Lots of companies make epoxy paint for garage (or any concrete) floor. Epoxy paint is almost bullet proof, but it is real important that you get everything perfectly prepared before you begin. These products have a very short open time before they set, and the last thing you want is to leave your boots stuck to a customer's floor.

Some Home Depot stores have contractors that will install epoxy paints. Call this number to find out if the service is available in your area: 888-480-9500
